Last Week we had a chat about CBD

We had a surprise chat with @breezin and talked about CBD oil use for medical reasons. The THC in cannabis is the psychoactive component that gets you high. There are also CBD components in there that are very good for the body, and don't get you high, just relaxed. The well know Hemp plant is high in CBD, and has very low or no amount of THC. Note that the CBD in the cannabis plant isn't the only component with health benefits.

CBD Benefits & Sourcing

The body naturally makes it's own form of CBD like oil, and has a full delivery system for it. The officials have only recently started studying the benefits of CBD oil, but it shows promise with treating anxiety, chronic pain, inflammation, diabetes, digestion cancer, skin conditions, seizures, and withdraw from opioids and other medications. CBD is safe, no one has ever died or been seriously injured from the use of CBD oils Note: Seek proper medical advice, Be Sure you know your CBD oil source is authentic and top quality - or make your own if you can.
